Yes. We planned to design a better interface sometime.

Sounds nice.

However, Leo's design was that TestRunner would acquire an
interface from the ZODB in good Zope tradition. Do you disagree
to this approach?

In case you agree, we may find the correct API for that and
adapt your patch.

Otherwise, perhaps you could add the verbosity variable to the
default list of properties.

Even better would be to add a "selection" property with more
descriptive names.


Anyway, I'll examine your patch in the next few days, if Leo
doesn't do it first.

As neither of us is devoting too much time to ZUnit right now
(for reasons of job priorities mostly), perhaps you'd like to
have CVS write access? In good Wiki tradition, CVS is a
wonderful thing because if we don't like your patch, we can
revoke it ;-)
